Chapter 414: Crazy Decision
"Commander Arnold is helping General Sellars command the defense of the army," Bol said Arnold's name, his eyes were full of admiration, it was obvious that Arnold showed his excellent military command skills, which shocked Bol, "Thanks to Commander Arnold, our legion can stabilize the formation, otherwise ......"
After listening to Pol's answer and knowing that Arnold was fine, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Wang Xu also understood that his opinion of the Silas general was correct, as a military general leading 30,000 people, he didn't even have the ability to let his subordinates set up a defensive formation, this level was worse than himself.

Wang Xu has a very clear understanding of all his abilities, he understands that his ability is short, in commanding the army, as long as the number of troops exceeds 500 people, he is almost powerless, therefore, he will cherish military talents so much, he must rely on excellent military talents, in order to effectively command the army, relying on himself, it is impossible to lead troops.
Wang Xu knew better that although he was a city lord, he should and must master military command skills, but after Wang Xu's continuous efforts, he found that he had gained very little, and he still couldn't lead soldiers.
Many times, he felt that maybe God had played a joke on himself, and took away all his talents in commanding the army, so he could probably only be a staff officer and come up with ideas, if he really let himself lead the troops to the battlefield, then, it is estimated that the result will be that the whole army will be wiped out except for himself.
Just as Wang Xu was reflecting on his miserable ability to lead troops, Franconia, who was still lying on the boulder and panting, came to life in an instant after hearing Pol say that the Silas Legion was not completely annihilated, sat up at once, and ran directly towards Bol.
Francon, who ran to Pol's side, opened his mouth a few times towards Pol, but said nothing, and frowned, obviously, after trotting two steps, he forgot everything he had to say.
Looking at Francon's embarrassed and scratching his head, Wang Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head sympathetically, and then asked Pol on his behalf: "Did you meet them before the Silas Legion was surrounded, or after they were surrounded?"
"Yes, yes, yes...... I just want to ask you about this!" Hearing Wang Xu ask the question he wanted to ask, Franken interjected excitedly, but, suddenly, he found that Wang Xu was looking at him coldly, and in an instant, he was silent.
Just then, Paul Evans and Yuri approached, and after whispering a few words to Franconia, they took Franconian by the arm and lifted him onto his horse, and they both mounted their respective mounts.
Glancing at Franconia, who was like a waste snack, Wang Xu shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: If the Evans family is rich in this kind of thing, then this family will soon be finished......
"Hey......" Pol, who understood Wang Xu's expression, sighed imperceptibly, and replied loudly to Wang Xu: "Commander Arnold and I met General Sellars before the enemy surrounded us!"
"Oh, that's good, in that case, can you tell me about the siege of the Silas Legion?" Wang Xu slightly pursed the corner of his mouth on the right side of his mouth and asked Bol in a low voice.
"That's the ......" It only took a minute or two for Pol to explain to Wang Xu the cause and effect of the siege of Silas' legion.
The reason why the Silas legion was surrounded was because of the stupidity of Silas himself.
It turned out that when Bol and Arnold found Silas's legion, they didn't go far, and they were less than two hundred kilometers from the city of Erise, that is, two hours on horseback.
At that time, Silas's legion was having breakfast, and when Bol told Silas the news of the siege of Iris City, Silas was quite decisive and ordered the army to return directly, and, in order to shorten the distance and reach Iris City in a straight line, the stupid Silas decided to take a shortcut and pass directly through the Whisper Swamp.
Silas, who is dumber than a pig, thinks that most of his team are infantry, and it will take about a day to return to Iris City by the same route, and if he takes a shortcut from the Whisper Swamp to Iris City, it will take half a day, so since Iris City is in a hurry, then, he should take a shortcut, Iris City must not have anything to do, it is the home of his own gang.
I have to say that Silas's stupidity has completely exploded Wang Xu's cognitive level, in Wang Xu's opinion, even if he is killed, he can't march in the Secret Swamp, not to mention whether the infantry will die in the swamp, even if they don't care, but didn't Celes think about what to do once he encounters an enemy in the swamp.
The main battlefield of the elves is the forest, not to mention that the elves have the endowment to talk to plants, even if the plants can't help, in the forest, there are trees to block, it's always a lot easier to escape, enter the swamp, the marching speed is halved, once surrounded, there is no place to hide around, there may be quicksand and dark pits under your feet, and you can't escape if you want to.
"Commander Arnold persuaded General Silas for a long time not to enter the Whispering Swamp, but," Pol sighed bitterly and shook his head helplessly before continuing to speak: "General Silas didn't listen and insisted on passing through the Whispering Swamp, so he ......"
"This Silas, when he comes back, I will remove him from his post and ask him to raise horses!" Franconia, who had been listening to Pol's story, roared angrily after hearing Pol's words.
As soon as he heard the content of Franken's roar, Wang Xu knew what he wanted to do, he wanted to shirk his responsibility and let Silas take the blame, didn't he reflect on who appointed the fool Silas as the general, wasn't he, from the appointment of the fool Silas as the general, it can be seen that Franken is even more stupid than Silas!
"Where in the swamp did you meet the Naga army?" Wang Xu, who had already bothered to pay attention to Franconian and even lost interest in satirizing him, continued to ask Pol.
"The south side of the swamp, near the southern edge of the swamp," Pol added, frowning for a moment, adding, "not only in the swamp, but also on land!"
"Oh, it seems that there are high-ranking people in the opponent, this kind of camping method of forming horns into each other is not understood by ordinary people," Wang Xu's brows twisted even more, "How many people have we lost?"
"After being attacked by the opponent once, we lost more than 2,000 people, and later, when we formed a defensive formation, we were crushed by the enemy again, and lost more than 2,000 people, and finally," Pol said sadly, "We only stabilized our position after General Silas handed over the command to Commander Arnold, but in the continuous charge of the enemy, we, hey, ......"
"How is this possible," after glancing at Francon, whose corners of his mouth began to twitch again, Wang Xu shook his head in confusion and asked, "Why! After only two contacts with our opponents, we actually sacrificed nearly 5,000 compatriots?"
Pol looked up at Wang Xu with palpitations, and replied with a trembling voice: "Because ......" (to be continued.) )
